CURT CONNELLY

Connelly will be remembered for his prowess as a baseball centerfielder for both the Spaulding and the University of New Hampshire baseball teams. A three-year starter in center for Spaulding, he was a two-time all-state pick. At UNH, he played four years in center, he was a full scholarship player and is the last man to hold that position for the Wildcats as the program was discontinued after the 1997 season. A full scholarship player for UNH, Connelly batted .335 as a junior and .337 as a senior. He set school records for doubles (14) and runs scored (45) as a junior. He also played football and ran indoor track at Spaulding, still holding the school record in the 300-meter dash (36.34 seconds).

Donohue excelled in soccer, basketball and outdoor track for the Red Raiders, and is widely considered to be the best all-around female athlete in school history. She led the Spaulding girls soccer teams to three state tournament appearances, which included two playoff wins, and was a three-time Class L first-team all-state pick. Her 79 career goals are a school record, as is her senior total of 29, which stands as a single-season mark. She was a 1,000-point scorer for the girls basketball team, leading the Red Raiders to three straight Class L playoff berths. As a first-team all-state pick her senior season in 1996-97, Donohue led Spaulding to the most wins in program history (18-5), and the program’s last playoff win to date. Also an accomplished sprinter, she was among the best at the 100- and 200-meter dashes in the state, winning the 200 title at the Meet of Champions as a senior. She later played four years of basketball at UNH, scoring 733 career points with 341 assists (5th all-time) and 162 steals (10th).

KRISTEN ZEIMETZ

Flynn is clearly the most decorated golfer with Rochester roots. While a student at St. Thomas Aquinas High school, he won the state schoolboy title at Amherst Country Club in 1988, following that up with an NHGA Junior title and a pair of State Am crowns in 1992 and 1994. He later attended Texas Christian University where he was the team’s No. 1 player as a junior and senior. He also befriended golfing legend Ben Hogan while he was there. Flynn has played professionally, starting in 1994, for nearly 20 years on a number of tours, including the Asian, Canadian , Gateway and Hooters tours.

Zeimetz was a standout swimmer for Spaulding and the University of New Hampshire. While a Red Raider, she won state titles as a junior and senior in the 200-yard individual medley and 100 breaststroke, setting a then state record in the 100 breast as a senior. At UNH, Zeimetz was the America East swimmer of the year in 1999 (UNH won the America East team title that year) and qualified for the 2000 Olympic team trials in the 100 and 200 breast. She was undefeated at UNH in the 200 breast for four years, winning America East titles all four years in that event. She graduated with seven America East titles, two records, was a four-time all-conference pick and was inducted into the UNH Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
